Part of the fun after CES is to weave the various announcements and showcases together to get a view of a future that might result from a blend of them. The goal, if you can call it that, is like imagining the cars of the 1950s and '60s, but from a 1920s perspective with then-recent developments such as compact hydraulic pumps and air conditioners in the forefront.
"Nokia's old advantage was they were the one company that seemed to get that folks didn't want to have identical phones and theirs were designed to have their appearance changed by users," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This would be particularly important if you were competing against a one-size/look-fits-all strategy like Apple has."
"Most are decades out of date," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Extending Jabber would be a way to address integrated thin client communications with a solution that's compliance-friendly, he told TechNewsWorld.
"Windows 8 had a nasty problem. Most of the hardware that was to have launched with 8 was delayed until this quarter because of a severe shortage of touchscreen displays," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. There's been "a lot of finger pointing as to w...
While the announcements at CES tend to eclipse everything else at the show, including the prior announcements, often the bigger events are going on behind the scenes. This year, Nvidia, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and a bunch of Chinese companies you've never heard about -- and one you have -- were far more interesting than the headliners. ...
"Samsung and other companies have been showing flexible screens for over a decade in one form or another, but getting them to volume has been problematic," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, commented "The difficulty isn't making the screen work, it's making ...
Given that national WiFi expansion is a presidential priority, the FCC is likely going to do all it can to free up the spectrum, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. The one agency that might be able to put a wrench in the FCC's plan, however, would be the Department of Defense...
Apple may well have primed the pump for companies like Pebble, suggested Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. A market arose for iPod nano wrist holders, although Apple killed it with its recent nano redesign, he pointed out.
"Nvidia kicked a lot of butt in their CES opener," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, remarked About the Tegra 4...
I think CES is the worst show in the technology market. That's not because it is badly run -- on thecontrary, it is one of the better-run shows. Nor is it because there aren't any interesting and compellingproducts there. No, it is because we all just blew out our budgets buying crap, and CES is a showcase of why we should have waited for the improved crap that will be in the market shortly...
"It comes way too early in the year for a fall show -- those lines won't be ready till May or June -- and too soon after the New Year's holidays for folks to be able to fully prepare for it," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. No. 3: The News Is Alread...
"Microsoft is clearly serious about their TV efforts with the Xbox platform," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "We are moving to a new TV model, and Microsoft has been talking about integrating this screen into the Microsoft suite of solutions since ...
"This is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to add touch-like features to a product," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "This is particularly useful because there's such a huge shortage of touchscreens at the moment and those screens can add several hundred dollars to the purchase price [of a device]."
As I look back on 2012, a number of products stand out as memorable. I figured I'd use my last column of the year to take a moment to recall each one and what made it special. ...
"This is just another indication that they really want to control what information gets to their citizens," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "From the standpoint of overall impact, it means that all communication going in and out of China are going to be more closely monitored."
"Users want to know what is going on with the customer, and analytics is the best way to deliver that knowledge," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told CRM Buyer One example is The List, a company we profiled in July. It offers lead generation software fo...
At the core of any major political argument like gun control or abortion is power. If you believe in Argumentative Theory, these battles are less about actually doing the right thing and more about one side or the other gaining social status. ...
"This was a zero margin business that Google had no interest in," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "They just wanted the IP from Motorola for phones. Google has no desire to build a TV, and I don't blame them -- it is a horrid market to enter." This s...
Such a network "typically takes two to five years after approval to roll out, but there's a lot of pressure to make this happen fast, so it should fall closer to the beginning of this range," suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Some observers have exp...
"With Apple stock dropping and judges finding against both Samsung and Apple, both companies are starting to look like they can find a negotiated way out of this mess," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "In any case, it seemed unlikely Samsung was going to be successful in the efforts they dropped, and they realized that a string of losses would create an image problem." ...
